Interest rates for both loans and deposits are falling. Fixed deposit (FD) interest rates, which were between 7-9 per cent at the end of 2024, now typically range from 6-8 per cent. This decline is due to factors such as the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) repo rate cut, controlled inflation, and other macroeconomic factors. Despite these decreases, some banks continue to offer more than 7.50 per cent to senior citizens (60 years and above). Here are the current FD rates and tenure details for seniors.
